"I've always believed that poems are essentially spirit houses that carry an essence of time, place, and the sacred occupants of that time and place. These poems of Katie Bickham prove it. They make a beautiful path through a few generations of history. I am reminded of the song lines of the Australian indigenous people. We get from there to here, by heart. This is essentially a book of remembering what should never be forgotten. Bravo Katie Bickham."
